Organization Details are now broken into the sections of:

  • General - containing your practice's mailing and billing details

  • Other & New Organization - remain the same

Improved Locations

We have made lots of improvements to Locations in Kalix. These changes are to in order to get ready for Online Scheduling, as well as to better support virtual type appointments e.g. telehealth and home visits. Click here for further details.

View Appointments Per Location

Kalix now allows you to filter your appointment calendar per location.

To view different locations, scroll down to the bottom of your appointment calendar to the section titled Locations. You can click to tick the name/s of the location/s that you wish to view. You can
either view each location's calendar alone or along side others.

Please note: appointments that were created prior to this update cannot be filtered by location. To enabling this feature on already created appointments, click on their appointment slot to view the Edit Appointment screen. Now reselect your location, then click Save.

Location & Clinician Availability

Kalix allows you to set up your locations' and clinicians' availability, click here for information.

Share With Others & Read Only

Kalix allows you to share documents and forms in a ready-only (cannot be edited) format. This added functionality means you can use Kalix to share created documents and forms e.g. chart notes, with other health professionals. To better reflect this change, we have renamed the functionality - Share with Others.
